- Community Engagement and Communications
- The Environment and Healthy Living
- Science and Technology
- Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security

The pledge embodies the ideals and primary goal of the 4-H program: to help young people grow into well-rounded, responsible, and self-reliant individuals.
I pledge
My head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,

For my club, my community,
